Canada banks pick Micrognosis.

DANBURY, Conn - CSK Corp.'s Micrognosis subsidiary said Toronto Dominion Bank has installed a trading information system at the bank's new facilities adjoining its Toronto headquarters.

The company also said Bank of Montreal had decided to use a single supplier for trading floor workstations around the world and had selected Micrognosis as its preferred vendor.

The first installation will be on the bank's Montreal trading floor.

Micrognosis officials said they offered the Bank of Montreal a new product called InVision that it is distributing under an alliance formed earlier this year with Ireland-based QFS. InVision will allow the bank's existing network of personal computers to receive market data.

Micrognosis said its installation for Toronto Dominion Bank is configured to support up to 180 traders.

The bank, which already has Mircrognosis technology installed in Australia and New York, is considering equipping as many as 400 traders on 10 floors.

The increasing adoption of virtual card payments by accounts payable departments has created an unex­pected complication for suppliers: more friction in the processing, posting and reconciliation of payments and receivables. The root of the problem is that most suppliers rely on a manual approach to processing e-mailed virtual card payments. Suppliers are forced to balance their organization’s need for operational efficiency and control with rising customer demand to pay with a virtual card. But a new breed of tech­nology enables suppliers to process virtual card payments straight-through, addressing the needs of buyers and suppliers. This paper details the growth of electronic business-to-business (B2B) payments, shows how manual approaches to processing virtual card payments cause friction in accounts receivables, describes a way to process virtual card payments straight-through, and highlights the benefits of friction­less payments.
